Impact of failure mode and effects analysis-based emergency management on the effectiveness of craniocerebral injury treatment

BACKGROUND: Craniocerebral injuries encompass brain injuries, skull fractures, cranial soft tissue injuries, and similar injuries. Recently, the incidence of craniocerebral injuries has increased dramatically due to the increased numbers of traffic accidents and aerial work injuries, threatening the physical and mental health of patients. AIM: To investigate the impact of failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA)-based emergency management on craniocerebral injury treatment effectiveness. METHODS: = 42) groups. Patients in the control group received conventional management while those in the study group received FMEA theory-based emergency management, based on the control group. Pre- and post-interventions, details regarding the emergency situation; levels of inflammatory stress indicators [Interleukin-6 (IL-6), C-reactive protein (CRP), and procalcitonin (PCT)]; incidence of complications; prognoses; and satisfaction regarding patient care were evaluated for both groups. CONCLUSION: FMEA-based craniocerebral injury management effectively shortens the time spent on emergency care, reduces inflammatory stress and complication risk levels, and helps improve patient prognoses, while achieving high patient care satisfaction levels.
